Pregnancy from rape

Sometimes, when a woman has a baby, it means she carried a tiny person in her belly for nine months until it was born. Usually, a woman wants to have a baby because she loves her partner and is ready to take care of a little person. But sometimes, a bad person hurts a woman without asking her. This is called rape, and it is very, very bad. When a woman is raped, she may get pregnant, just like when a woman wants to have a baby with someone she loves. However, this doesn't mean that the woman wanted to get pregnant or is ready to take care of a baby - she didn't choose to have a baby, and it can make her feel very scared and sad. That's why it's important to make sure women have control over their bodies and can choose when they want to have a baby.
